About
We were honored to have the opportunity to purchase Kat and dive into the conformation show world. Kat is out of a very impressive cross between Grand Champion Shadowmoons The Competitive Edge RN CA TKN and Champion LHT This Girl is On Fire. Her sire was named the #1 Male Australian Shepherd in 2015 and has too many successes to account for here. Her dam finished her Championship title at the 2020 Royal Canin Nationals and has the most sought after temperament in Aussies. We fell in love with Kat as a silly puppy and couldn't be more impressed by the dog she has grown into - she has such incredible focus and drive and absolutely knows she is a beautiful show dog. Kat loves to be bathed, brushed and blown out and stands as if she is in a posh nail parlor while getting her toenails trimmed! She loves to prove how much faster she is than everyone else - running miles around our ranch and diving into the pond and we love how easily and willingly she settles right into home life; her manners are incredible! Kat is our first smiling Aussie and sticks to us like glue, just the way we love our velcro Aussies to be!

About
Sky is our super sweet girl from Zoe's second litter. We fell in love with her so quickly - she just loves everything and everyone! She is always so excited about whatever the day brings - from a simple game of fetch to swimming in our pond to working our cows to making an outdoor jungle gym out of the creek and woods to just soaking up the air conditioning and belly rubs. We especially love how hard she can go and still have the off-switch we've valued in our line so much. Genetics play such a big role in the way puppies turn out both physically and temperamentally and we are very grateful to see such ideal qualities continue to be passed down. Sky weighs 47 pounds and stands about 19 inches. She has great bone and an awesome Aussie coat. She is an incredible mother, just like her mom Zoe and grandma Mia!

About
Zoe produced three absolutely phenomenal litters for us and has been thoroughly enjoying retirement life. I'll never forget the head count we did during her second pregnancy - when the veterinarian said "13" I cried hysterically, to the point that the vet asked what was wrong and my reply was "I love my dog, 13 is too many, I want her to be okay!" and the vet kindly laughed and said "I've had breeders cry because the litter size was too small, but I've never had anyone upset over too many puppies." I definitely did not see dollar signs, just a potentially hard experience for my girl, but it turned out just PERFECT and I added it to my many reasons why I don't question the Lord's plan or provision.
Zoe is our pick of Mia's third and final litter. We are so proud of the dog she has grown into and absolutely love her temperament. Zoe stands about 20 inches and weighs around 50 pounds. She was the star puppy in her obedience training class and continues to outshine everyone! She loves being our running companion and has even competed in various 5K fun runs and Iron Dogs! She has all the qualities we love to see in our Aussies - incredible loyalty, great drive and extremely biddable.

About
Our beloved Mia is our retired foundation bitch. Our dogs are first and foremost cherished members of our family. We do not believe in breeding every heat cycle, nor during all the year's a dog is capable of raising pups; Mia produced 3 outstanding litters for us. These 14.5 years with her have been nothing but incredible! I know our remaining days with her are limited, but we still giggle at her spunk and ability to keep up with the young whipper-snappers around here! She will always be the "Mother Hen" - every litter gets the privilege of being worked by her when they start going outside for learning and playtime. Mia LOVES water - any opportunity to swim or play with a sprinkler or hose is a good day for our girl. We searched all over for her and were greatly rewarded with the best "personality" Aussies have to offer. Mia stands about 18 inches and weighs around 40 pounds. She lives to please us and loves to learn new tricks and commands. She has great herding insticts and loves to balance the ball when we play fetch as if it were a herd of cattle.
"GUS"
Our very first Aussie
Our very first Aussie “Gus” passed over the rainbow bridge and left our hearts aching without his goofy antics. One of the memories that still makes me laugh was late in life, every time he heard the garage door open, he would jump up and run to his water bowl and drink as fast as he could! He made us laugh so much and really taught us what an Australian Shepherd represents as he worked cattle endlessly without tiring!
About
He was raised on our family ranch in the Nebraska sandhills. Gus was about 23” and weighed around 65 lbs. After retiring from ranch life, Gus thoroughly enjoyed the process of becoming more of a house dog. He had such a great disposition and the biggest heart an Aussie can have! He learned to enjoy having his teeth brushed daily (which was quite a sight looking back - all 3 of our Aussies at that time would march into the bathroom and wait in line for their turn - this was "pre-kid" haha!), his thick coat combed weekly, his toenails clipped monthly and would do just about anything for a nice long walk. Forever in our hearts, he will always be the one who started it all and taught us so much!
